La Cantera Golf Club opened in 1995, when it also hosted one of the oldest PGA Tour events, the Texas Open. It is no wonder the spot was chosen, with its numerous natural water features, mature oaks, and limestone rock outcroppings it provides the perfect terrain for a challenging round. There are also 75 white sand bunkers strategically placed throughout the golf course. In combination with the spectacular views provided by the course’s elevation changes, the course has quickly gained favor as one of the best public-access golf courses in the country.

Worst green ever at this course

Crazy to charge premium price when there is no green or grass on the putting green. Played round without having to putt. I felt cheated.

Greens were AWFUL

Course set up and staff were awesome! BUT, had I known ahead of time about the conditions of the green, I wouldn’t even think of playing here. It was like putting on colored dirt. We played 3 other courses that had great greens and wasn’t close to price of this. We were offered 15% off but it should’ve been more. Hopefully next time they will be better.

Greens need some work.

The greens were unacceptable.. We have recently played courses around San Antonio that are half the price and are in much better condition. I was really disappointed to pay that much for golf and the greens be in such poor shape. Don't waste your money and play here, until they repair the greens.

Could be great course

The staff from bag drop to wrapping up was very attentive. Driving range was solid could use bigger chipping area. Tee boxes provided every level an appropriate challenge. Fairways were hard with no grass to slow ball down. Combined with slope middle of fairway drive rolled out of bounds a couple times. Painting the fairways and maybe greens is pointless. Be who you are. Greens were rock hard also. They rolled ok.but not great as I played the best greens ever the next day at a different course. Overall the elevation changes made for beautiful scenic and sculpted holes throughout the course. Maybe warmer wetter weather will bring natural green and sufficient grass to the course making it a top resort course like it could be.

Enjoyable course with nice elevation changes.

I enjoyed my first time playing this course. Definitely cost more than my normal courses I play but was a nice treat while visiting San Antonio.
Greens have a lot of undulations to them and some sharp fall offs. Was fun to play a former PGA Tour stop.

Not good marshals

So the round almost took five hours because the group in front of us had no golf etiquette and after telling the marshals two times about it they drove right by them without telling them one thing.
I don’t know if they were members or not. But they should’ve been told something and the marshals neglected to say anything to them twice.
And as far as the greens. They were the fastest I’ve played in probably seven years anywhere.

Great and challenging course

I am normally a very góod putter and greens reader but i could not make one.. for sime reason i read right to left and everything was left to righ. Could not believe it and made that mistake time after time. Trust it will break right.
Overall great ggolf course and i will definetly play it again.
One thing to improve the grass cutter guys were always working without the adequate behaivor. A detail but i hit one of the in the middle of the fairway that might cost me at least 20 yards and in other ocassion the just move while i was trying to chip in. I dont think they needed to do this while the course was not that crowded
